Carbide Inserts GTN-5 (QC1405) OSCARBIDE Grooving Cutters 10pcs

Description

Product Overview

The OSCARBIDE GTN-5 (QC1405) carbide inserts are precision‑engineered indexable tools designed for internal grooving and cut‑off applications on CNC lathe machines. Each insert measures 0.160 inches in width and is fabricated from solid carbide that has been enhanced with a multilayer coating. This coating reduces friction, improves wear resistance, and extends tool life, allowing users to achieve higher cutting speeds while maintaining dimensional accuracy. The inserts are supplied in a pack of ten, each individually protected in a durable plastic storage box that simplifies inventory management and ensures the tools remain free from contamination.

Key specifications include a package dimension of 3.93 x 0.8 x 0.39 inches and a weight of 1.76 ounces per pack. The product was first made available on May 31, 2023, and has quickly risen in popularity, ranking #71 in the Internal Grooving Inserts category on Amazon. Designed for versatility, these inserts are suitable for machining a wide range of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and non‑ferrous alloys such as aluminum and copper.

Usage

These inserts excel in environments where precision and repeatability are critical. They are ideal for manufacturers and machine shops that require reliable grooving performance on medium to high‑speed CNC lathe operations. The multilayer coating enables faster feed rates without sacrificing surface finish, making them perfect for high‑volume production runs as well as low‑batch custom machining. Whether you are producing automotive components, aerospace parts, or general industrial hardware, the GTN-5 inserts provide consistent chip control and reduce the need for frequent tool changes.

Because the inserts are indexable, users can quickly rotate the tool to a fresh cutting edge, minimizing downtime. The 10‑piece packaging ensures that you have a ready supply of spares, allowing you to maintain continuous operation during long production cycles. The inserts are also compatible with standard CNC lathe tool holders, requiring no special adapters or modifications.

FAQ

What material can these inserts machine?

The GTN-5 inserts are designed to cut carbon steel, stainless steel, and a variety of non‑ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass.

How often should I replace the inserts?

Because of the durable multilayer coating, the inserts typically last 2‑3 times longer than standard carbide tools. Replacement frequency depends on cutting conditions, but most users find they can complete several hundred parts before needing a new insert.

Are the inserts compatible with standard CNC lathe holders?

Yes, the GTN-5 inserts fit standard indexable tool holders used on most CNC lathe machines without requiring additional adapters.

What is the benefit of the multilayer coating?

The multilayer coating reduces friction, improves heat dissipation, and protects the carbide substrate from wear, resulting in higher cutting speeds and better surface finish.

Do you offer technical assistance for setup?

OSCARBIDE provides comprehensive technical support, including installation guidelines, optimal cutting parameters, and troubleshooting assistance to help you get the most performance out of the inserts.
